Plot: Frasier is woken up early by one morning by the National Psychotherapy Institute. Except it's really Carlos and the Chicken, KACL's new early morning line up. They trick Frasier into giving some rather embarrassing details on the radio through their prank call.
When he finds out, Frasier is cross. He goes to see Carlos and the Chicken and they apologise. They say they're fans of his and promise not to do it again. Frasier is satisfied - until they phone him again, pretending to be the superintendent of his building. Frasier is in the bath at the time and is tricked into singing I'm In The Mood For Love, as well as revealing what he uses in his bath - lavender. The prank is revealed, and Carlos and the Chicken are now offering $1000 for the best picture of Frasier Crane's behind.
Frasier decides to get even, and prepares a speech. Martin begs him not to read it out - he will get bullied even more. Martin remembers when Frasier & Niles were kids and liked The Avengers - they ran around with bowler hats and were bullied. When Roz arrives, and turns on the radio, Carlos and the Chicken have made a tape of Frasier and Roz making love - using clips from their shows.....
Subtitles: Take That, Alfalfa; The Umbrella Policy.
Martin knows..... the guys he and his friends played pranks on in the force. These pranks included filling a guy's hat with shaving cream, nailing a guy's shoes to the floor or getting a guy dead drunk and leaving him in a draw in the morgue.
Trivia:
